Advanced Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy systems. Delay and saturation (Q2251346): Difference between revisions

Fuzzy Takagi-Sugeno (TS) rule-based models are one of the most visible categories of fuzzy models. Structured as a collection of ``if-then'' rules, the model describes a complex nonlinear system through a series of local linear models. In a generic format adopted in this book, the \(i\)th rule assumes the following form: \[ \text{if }z_1\text{ is }M_{i1}\text{ and }z_2\text{ is }M_{i2}\text{ and }\dots z_m\text{ is }M_{im}\text{ then }\{\dot x(t)= A_ix(t)+ B_iu(t),\, y(t)= Cx(t)\}, \] where \(z_1,z_2,\dots, z_m\) are the premise (condition) variables (that could be state and/or input dependent), \(M_{ir}\) are the corresponding fuzzy sets, \(x(t)\) is a state vector and \(u(t)\) stands for a control (input) vector. Given this form of TS models, the book being structured into nine chapters, covers a plethora of control problems including (i) stabilization of TS models with constrained control, (ii) static output control, (iii) stabilization of discrete time TS positive models and stabilization of delayed TS positive models as well as stabilization of discrete time TS fuzzy models with multiple delays. Furthermore stabilization tasks are considered for two-dimensional TS fuzzy models. Two chapters are devoted to robust control; more specifically robust control for these fuzzy models with time varying delay and robust output \(H_\infty\) fuzzy control. While the book is devoted to control, it is quite difficult to expect a comprehensive exposure to the development (identification) of fuzzy models. Nevertheless a very brief introduction to fuzzy model construction offered in the first chapter seems to be somewhat limited and not fully supportive of further design strategies of fuzzy control. In particular, there are interesting and open questions about an impact of crucial parameters of the fuzzy model (such as e.g., the number of rules or types of membership functions) on the developed control strategy. Undoubtedly, the monograph is of tangible value to all those who are interested in analysis and synthesis of control and stabilization algorithms realized for fuzzy rule-based models. The presentation of the material is clear, up-to-the point whereas the flow of the main ideas is coherent and logically organized. The motivation behind the proposed solutions and control strategies is convincing. All in all, the book could be a useful material to the readers engaged in the modem trends of control and fuzzy control, in particular.
